Dude, my plate is so full I'm eating over a trash can. But if you can set to kick off in late, late 2011 I'd jump in with a jet.

Awesome, and noted guys!

If I started mid 2011 and let the campaign run for a year, would that work for you guys?

Great to have you guys on board

Would you be more comfortable with early summer or late summer?

Late summer............2015.

Nah, if you're gonna make it a 12 month campaign either is good for me. I've just jumped into too many campaigns lately. Five years ago there were only 2 or 3 campaigns per year on Aeroscale and if I was lucky one of them would allow modern jets. Now the campaign board is crammed with cool ideas.

Like I said, if it runs for 12 months I can do it.

I agree on the 12 month timeframe, go figure I would join the network with this kind of timing

Just out of curiosity, which aircraft would you be considering for this if it takes off?

Dude! The possibilities are freakin' endless. That's why I was so eager to join. Anything from an F-100 (Hun), to A-1 Skyraider, to F-4 Phantom.......F-102, F-104, F-105, F-106, A-4 Skyhawk, A-7 Corsair, etc. Not to mention all the choppers.
About 1/3 of my stash is Vietnam era jets so I can go alot of different directions.

Sweet!

A couple of guys are already thinking about F-105s, which I was hoping would happen, and I would sure welcome more! Any of the aircraft would be great, would love to see an F-104 or F-101 recce, and we haven't had anybody commit to any egg beaters yet.

One thing that would be way cool to see would be a collection of all of the Wild Weasel types flown in Vietnam

On a side note, I have suggested a start date of August 01 2011, and a 12 month run time. Let me know if this works.

Jeremy, those dates work very well for me.

Plenty of time to find out what kit to build and then change my mind 3-4 times

That date's perfect. I'll be cutting the last of the hay around that time and there'll only be two more months of high school football left so that gives me the whole winter to get something built.

No way a plate can be full, just don't double dip from the bowl!

I'm in with a Intruder and Prowler.

Happy Modeling,

Just FYI, while this is now an official Kitmaker University campaign, it is only registering on the Armorama website.
